- Mean ± standard deviation shown.
- * p<0.05 **p<0.01 compared to baseline, paired t-test.
- P1NP: propeptide of type I collagen; IGF-1: insulin-like growth factor 1; IGFBP-3: insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3; Vitamin D: 25-hydroxy vitamin D;
- There were significant reductions in P1NP, leptin and albumin in the first 3 months. Over 3 years there were significant increases in IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and C telopeptides and osteocalcin.
